On Mastodon, people like to look through who you're following and who follows you to make flimsy judgments about you, but you can hide that, and nobody can force it to be open to the public but yourself. People also can't log into a read-only version of your Mastodon account and read through your notifications, bookmarks, and so on. Despite the really great things I've discovered on Nostr, this kind of remains a strange feature that could easily be turned off if you could put a password on your public key.

Oh I didn't mean that Nostr being versatile was bad, just that I don't entirely like the fact that you have no privacy on Nostr

2024-07-21 20:17:18

My thoughts on #Nostr a week in are that this is a great platform, but the lack of any privacy is kind of a bummer. People shouldn't be able to grab your public key and just view your notifications. Sure, sensitive material isn't really shared there, but that's where the crossroads between Nostr and Mastodon are.

Yeah, I'd say I'm a fan now. I still have a lot of exploring to do, more things to figure out (like finding more people to follow who talk about things that I'm interested in), but all-in-all I think I can say some of my initial impressions were misguided, even if there are still some worries I have. It'll take me a while to decide how much of a fan I am. So far, being on here a few days has been more eventful than me being on Mastodon for 7 years. So we'll see where it goes. I think my next hurdle is buying a new domain, and hosting my own copy of ditto

Ditto looks surprisingly easy to install and get running, but I wonder how resource intensive it is. I've been using Digital Ocean for a long time, and it looks like something that could easily run on a VPS I currently have #ditto

The reporting on this assassination attempt has been all over the place, but I think I have all the pieces now. Trump was shot at, got hit in the ear, and then a spectator in the crowd unfortunately got killed. Completely nuts. In a time when we need to come together as a society, break down these walls that the media and corporate social media has built around us, mostly entirely for financial and political gain, we have actual violence and murder (if my assumptions are correct and the shooter in fact hit and killed a bystander in the crowd).
It goes without saying, that if you're looking to change things in this country, or if you want to be heard for what you believe, or whatever it is you want to say, the internet and its many multitudes of platforms are far more powerful than bullets. Nobody loses their lives when you write your angry little rant on Twitter, or Threads, or Mastodon, or Nostr. And it's far more healthy to hash out your feelings with a keyboard, than to load up a weapon, and end someone's life in the flash of a second over things that, in the grand scheme, mean almost nothing.
Dark times we're living in, I think. I miss being a kid in the 90s with my Nintendo 64, sometimes, a hell of a lot lol

One of my biggest fears on Mastodon is saying the wrong thing, or having a bad day, and ending up with a large majority of the actual active instances silencing or blocking me, to the point where I really AM talking to no one, and that could happen to anyone on the fediverse. Like, even if you don't have anything that you want to share with the world, that's a real shitty thing to even consider as a possibility of happening

I actually have that exact experience. I was on a Mastodon server for years, at least 4, and I had just one grievance where I went a little out of control and told someone to go fuck themselves, and because the admin and his mod team were having a bad day, or didn't like me ... I lost everything. It made/inspired me to launch my own Mastodon server, but after exploring Nostr for a little bit now, I'm starting to wonder if paying for a Mastodon server is really the best option

2024-07-13 23:21:42

I just read someone talking about Mastodon in a light I hadn't really considered. The whole platform and protocol is built on this idea of decentralization, but it's built as if there are thousands of small Twitter connected to each other.
So ... actually, Mastodon is many centralized servers talking to each other

Mastodon has been very, very slow growth for me. I think I've been messing with that social network since 2017 and building a community of people that I regularly talk to has been like climbing a mountain. I like the place, but it's also very insular and hard to reach out

Well hey, I really appreciate that you read it and took seriously the things I said. When I wrote it I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to be on Nostr, and felt like it wasn’t the place for me. I have a lot of interests all over the place and my ideas about the world are also, all over the place lol but then I saw that a whole bunch of people were reading and sharing it, on almost exclusively on Nostr too
Felt that was a good enough reason to come back and check it out, and I think I might just change my opinion about some things
